Wooster Community Hospital is proud to be recognized as one of the nation’s 100 Top Hospitals by Thomson Healthcare. This award is based on a set of objective measures that reflect highly effective and balanced performance across the whole organization. These benchmark measures include patient outcomes, patient safety, national treatment standards, efficiency and financial stability. We were one of only 20 hospitals selected from over 1,100 across the country in the medium size community hospital category.
To borrow from the information that accompanies this award, being named a 100 Top Hospitals National winner means:

|
On April 22nd, the Akron Beacon Journal ran an article about recently updated data on the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services online “Hospital Compare” tool, which can be found at http://www.medicare.gov. That data compared Wooster Community Hospital against 11 other area hospitals, as well as to national averages. WCH scored the highest of the area hospitals listed in that article on 7 of the 10 questions on which patients rated the hospitals, and at or above the national average on the other 3 questions.
All hospitals, except some small and rural facilities, are required to share results of patients’ answers to these questions in order to continue receiving payment increases from Medicare. More than 2,500 hospitals nationwide participated in the latest set of data.

HealthPoint can help. |

HealthPoint is pleased to announce a new balance testing and training service available in March. Through the generosity of the Maxine Lohr Trust, HealthPoint was able to acquire a Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) device.
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
By using CDP, trained specialists can determine how your different senses work together to control your balance, what’s working well and what might be causing you some unsteadiness.
With this information, your physical therapy can be fine-tuned to help you improve specific aspects of your balance and steadiness, reducing your risk of stumbling or falling.
The testing is easy and painless. If you are interested in having your balance tested, call the Rehab department at HealthPoint at 330-202-3300. |
